When a link is dead, does Wikipedia allow you to change it to an archived copy of the webpage from before it was taken down?

    Even if the link isn’t dead, most citation templates that accept a |url= parameter also accept |archive-url=, |archive-date=, and |url-status=

    Also, newly added links are automatically archived on the Wayback Machine iirc.
